The Experience

This is going to be unlike any bike ride you've ever taken. If you rode with us last year, you know what we're talking about. The time you spend on the bike is special and meaningful - but it's only part of the story at #Ride2EndALZ Minnesota. Ride week is packed with great stuff, starting with the packet-pick-up events, all the way through a super fun after-party at a brewery! And the best part - you'll be honoring your loved ones and helping to #EndALZ!

PACKET-PICK-UP

Come and pick up all the cool schwag you've earned! We offer pre-Ride Day check-in opportunities so that you can skip the lines at Elm Creek Park on October 13 and go directly to the starting line. You only need to check in one time - you don't have to come to all of them!

Check-in & Packet-Pick-Up Opportunities:

  • Friday, October 11 (1p -5p)- Alzheimer's Association Minnesota Offices: 12701 Whitewater Drive, Minnetonka, MN, 55343
  • Saturday, October 12 (11a-4p) - Omni Brewing (9462 Deerwood Lane, Maple Grove, MN, 55369)
  • Sunday, October 13 (starting at 6a) - Elm Creek Park (Ride venue) - lines will be long! We recommend coming to one of the pre-Ride check-in events!

    CHAMPIONS DINNER

    Riders that raise at least $1,000 are invited to join us for the exclusive Champions Brunch! Join us on Sunday, October 27 at Rush Creek Golf Club (times TBD) as we recognize our Champions, look back & celebrate Ride Day, and share our favorite memories. A delicious brunch will be served & you will hear about the latest in Alzheimer's research.

    *Invitations for Champions Dinner are emailed to riders upon reaching $1,000 fundraising level*

    RIDE DAY

    Arrive early for light breakfast before you hit the road, along with a can't-miss opening ceremony and send-off. When you get back after your ride, come on over to the catered lunch where food and beverages will be waiting for you! Details like starting times will be included in the Ride Guide, which will be posted here closer to the event.

    Experience the #Ride2EndALZ Minnesota in style and comfort in your own team tent! Teams of 5 or more riders can qualify for their own private tent near the start/finish line by raising $5,000 or more. The more you raise - the bigger the tent. Your team captain will be given information about this exciting incentive when the team gets registered.

    If you have a passion for the #EndALZ mission and you like to ride your bike - you can stop searching. You've found your event!
